About the project
A guest is invited to sit in front of a television holding a live microphone in one hand and a remote control to shift through the News Channels in the other. What appears on the TV monitor is streamed alongside the voice of the guest who is addressing the news that he/she is watching live. An archive will be created online (web address to be determined) and a compilation will be eventually edited from the most significant moments of each session.
